Pythagorean Journey
i2i Publishing (Verlag)
9781916732421 (ISBN)
A journey across Greece, Turkey and the Middle East, which
retraces the one made by Pythagoras some 2500 years ago in his quest to
discover 'the theory of everything'. Travelling through lands steeped in history and alive with
myths and legends, the author writes about the places he visited and the
cultures he met there. From Apollo's Temple at Delphi to the Egyptian pyramids, the
cities of the ancient Near East and the final resting place of Noah's Ark, he
describes the antiquities that still remain and endeavours to put into some
sort of context, the life and achievements of the mystical Greek philosopher. This is a voyage through the past and the present - a travel
journal with a difference
